Good we need to keep Trout fresh. Ausmus is doing so many wonderful things. Let's keep the winning streak alive.

[greginpsca]

Goodwin batting 8th makes no sense. He has been one of our best hitters.

[IIIII]

This is a series we must sweep or win 2/3. Big week for the team. They need to put themselves in a good position heading into the Houston series because people are going to start coming back from injury. 

[Anaheim Ohtanitrouts]

Good idea DHing trout, anything to get Bourjos back in the lineup. The team looked lost offensively without him yesterday

[greginpsca]

Who is the next roster casualty, in exchange for Skaggs coming off the Il. Ramsey??

Yet the corpse of Pujols will be cemented in the cleanup spot for another three years

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Trout career at CF .313/.424/.593/1.018

Trout career at DH .212/.391/.342/.733

I hate to see him at DH when he's healthy, at least he still gets on base at a high rate as DH.

Cody Allen placed on 10 Day DL

Wow, Allen and Cozart to the IL in the same week.That is the true definition of addition by subtraction.

Or until Ohtani is back in the lineup. With a .341 OBP Pujols hasn’t been terrible, but, yeah, a .720-ish OPS probably isn’t ideal from the cleanup spot.

Maybe he’s one of those players that always needs to be in the game. He does it about five times per season. It’s probably good to get him off his feet every now and then.

Better move in that it reduces the risk of aggravating Trout's tender and maybe not quite healed sore spot covering a CF bigger than Anaheim's.

Edit: Is KC still plastic turf with concrete underneath?

Those stats are meaningless in the context of one game 

[eligrba4ever]

GO ANGELS!!!!

Go Tyler Skaggs!!! Deeper than 6 innings!!

Lumbar Spine Strain?

Is that from spinning around watching the ball fly over the fence...or maybe it's the medical term for getting your ass kicked repeatedly

Pretty sure only Toronto and Tampa Bay have artificial turf. So Vlad Jr. will start out on artificial turf just like his father.

KC converted to grass in 1994. Once Willie Wilson left they didn't need the turf anymore.

You would think that he wouldn't start at all.  Why do we good production when we could get mediocre?

 

[Chuck]

Unless Bourjos has a few good games at the plate I doubt we see him on the roster by May 1st since Goodwin can play all 3 outfield spots.

We have Parker, Rojas, Walsh and Puello down there that can provide some offense in corner OF spots, while Rojas and Walsh can also play the infield.

Go Halos!

[Vladfan]

I'm in KC for work and I pull up to my hotel and go to check in and I pass by Lastella, Calhoun and Fletcher. Had no idea that I was going to be in the same hotel as the Angels. 

I asked the valet guy about them staying there and he said not to bother them because management will toss you from the hotel. 

 

Should be a great weekend in KC.

Looks like you're already on the 'list'
